Economic entomology for the farmer and fruit-grower [microform] : and for use as a text-book in agricultural schools and colleges . economicentomolo00insmit Year: 1896 THE INSECT ]VORLD. 277 Fig the body striped with narrow black or reddish-brown hnes, ex- cept at the sides, where it is gray or yellowish. Near the pos- terior extremity is a rather prominent, humped segment entirely red in color. When full grown they go underground, and from them come, in the spring following,, moths gray in color, mottled with brown, but the front of the body and a margin along the anterior edge of the fore- wings white or nearly so. These are called Edema albifrons. The body is rather cylindrical, heavy, extending somewhat be- yond the hind wings and obtusely terminated. Feeding exposed as these insects do, they are readily destroyed by the arsenites. One other caterpillar sometimes occurs in swarms on a great variety of plants, including some fruit-trees, and this is known as the 'red-humped prominent.' It is yellowish brown in color, pale along the sides and striped with slender black lines. The fourth segment is humped and of a red color like that of the Fig. :,o2. . Edema albifrons and its larva.
